As the nation’s largest physician-owned medical malpractice insurer, The Doctors Company has always been guided by our mission: To advance, protect, and reward the practice of good medicine.
Member-Owned, Physician-First
Founded and led by physicians, The Doctors Company is inextricably aligned with the medical profession and honored to serve those who take care of us. We use our data-driven insights to predict complications ahead in the ever-changing practice environment and provide resources and insights to help medical professionals address the challenges they face. We stand by our over 90,000 members with strong defense, visionary risk management specialists, and the best imaginable service—that's why 94 percent of the members who we defend recommend us to their peers.
Our Board of Governors is comprised of physicians and healthcare leaders and distinguished executives of Fortune 100 companies, representing many of the nation’s leading banks, financial advisors, and property/casualty insurers.
Superior Financial Strength for Stability and Protection
With $7.3 billion in assets, our financial strength gives us the power to protect our members today and tomorrow. Our member surplus is over $2.8 billion, making us the strongest of any national physician-owned medical liability carrier, and we are rated A by A.M. Best Company and Fitch Ratings.
Innovative Coverage Solutions
The nation’s leading medical malpractice insurance coverage offers unique features—including MediGuard®, cyber coverage, and the Tribute® Plan, our breakthrough financial benefit—that strengthen the practice of medicine while making it more rewarding. Our medical practice coverages are consultative, customized, and innovative to help groups of all sizes reduce and control costs, manage employee benefits, and guard against risk.
And unlike medical liability insurers that are investor-owned companies, The Doctors Company remains fiercely independent and dedicated to the interests of our members. As a physician-owned insurer, we differ significantly from carriers that are directed by their shareholders’ interests.
The Industry’s Strongest Malpractice Claims Defense
The Doctors Company has a keen understanding of the impact of a malpractice claim. If a claim is ever made against you, we fight to win—both in and out of the courtroom. Our claims experts will be with you every step of the way. Our powerful defense attorneys have well-earned reputations for unyielding defense and aggressive trial strategy that give any plaintiff pause. And we make this promise to you: We will never settle a claim without your consent, where permitted by law.
Visionary Risk Management Resources
Members have access to a wealth of resources, including industry-leading programs that help doctors and practices implement effective protocols, resulting in significantly fewer allegations of malpractice. And the industry’s largest claims database gives us an unparalleled understanding of lawsuits against doctors. This data-driven approach enables us to anticipate emerging trends and deliver innovative patient safety tools to help our members reduce risk.
Endorsements by Prestigious Partners
America’s most prestigious medical organizations recognize our efforts in support of doctors by endorsing or sponsoring The Doctors Company as their chosen medical liability insurance carrier. This honor is evidence of our continuing commitment to enabling doctors to provide superior patient care. Our work with these societies addresses emerging issues facing the profession and provides society members with significant benefits.
Advocating for Doctors in the Courtroom and the Legislature
The Doctors Company is relentlessly committed to supporting medical liability reform and to safeguarding access to patient care. We defend reforms that are in place, prevent legislation from being enacted that would undermine the defenses of our members, and take opportunities to enact new measures that would limit liability exposure for our members and physicians across the country. We dedicate ourselves to this calling so doctors can make decisions based on the best outcomes for patients, rather than the ever-present threat of litigation, invasive regulation, or financial loss.
In 2008, we created The Doctors Company Foundation to support patient safety research and education programs through charitable grants. The Foundation works to improve the environment in which doctors and all healthcare providers practice.
Great Place to Work Certification
The Doctors Company is Certified™ as a Great Place to Work®. This prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at The Doctors Company. In 2023, 84 percent of employees said it’s a great place to work—27 points higher than the average U.S. company.
